  CF cookies are not session cookies.  They are stored permanently to reduce
  the number of records in your client storage database.  If you want to use
  session cookies, you have to do it yourself.

  <cfapplication .. setclientcookies="false" ... />
  <cfcookie name="cfid" value="#client.cfid#" />
  <cfcookie name="cftoken" value="#client.cftoken#" />

    Dennis,
    This does not explain why CF session cookies are not perceived as session
    cookies by IE.

    And I do append URL variables to maintain session state when cookies are
  not
    accepted.   However, it seems that a number of developers, CF and others,
  are
    lazy and require Users to enable cookies to use their sites.  I choose to
  buy
    from competitors in this case.

      “The Web is stateless”

      In order for the server to recognize the client on each request you MUST
      tell the server who you are.  Technically there are two common ways to
      maintain session state on the web.  Use appended URL variables or
  cookies.
      When you use any session, application or client variable CF it
  automatically
      tries to set it’s own cookies (CFID / CFTOKEN) to maintain state.  If
  you
      completely disable cookies in the web browser then the CF server
  application
      must use some other method, usually appending the URL variables (CFID /
      CFTOKEN).

      Best regards,
